Interesting fact

The Obolo coin from the County of Girona (Spanish States) made of Silver weighing 0.15 g is an interesting piece of history, as it was used as a form of currency during the 10th century. What's fascinating about this coin is that it features an image of a fruit tree, which is believed to symbolize abundance and prosperity. This design choice was likely made to reflect the region's strong agricultural heritage and to convey a sense of growth and prosperity for the community that used it.
